Montgomery Co, Ala: GOP push poll upsetting the Dem candidate
The Montgomery Advertiser reports: A contender for a local seat in the Alabama House of Representatives is up in arms about a poll run by Republicans in his district that he said inaccurately tells people he defended corrupt politicians and sued local businesses as an attorney.
Democrat Joe Hubbard is challenging Republican state Rep. David Grimes for the District 73 seat.
Hubbard has voiced his concerns that the question asking if people would be more or less likely to support him if they knew "Joe Hubbard is a lawyer who has sued local businesses and has defended many corrupt Montgomery politicians."
